How to pull out contacts from the "killed" Andoid 2.3.6?

Question

Android

Good evening. Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i on stock 2.3.6 has stopped turning on, it's just a screensaver going through the cycle. Is it possible to restore the phone without losing contacts or pull them out? There was no backup account on it. Not rooted.

Answer 1

1. Install custom recovery for your device
2. Because. this is CWM, not TWRP, then you also need to throw the file manager on the memory card - AROMA
3. Copy contacts from /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts*.db to the memory card
if you also need SMS, then /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
They are stored there in SQLite3 format, I think you'll figure it out how to export.
If you want to return it unchanged, after the firmware - be sure to root the device and see the correct rights and owner on the file, after replacing - restore the rights / owner

Answer 2

A Google account is attached to each android device, if you didn’t especially chemistry with synchronization, the contacts should all be in the cloud, you just register your acc in another phone and the contacts are there. Or you go to gmail and there is a button "Contacts" on the top left
